 Join the CPA Aces -- another way for you and your business to be recognized as a leader in the Greater Houston community and brought to you through the Houston CPA Society.
Membership is easy and FREE. The CPA Aces are comprised of companies and firms employing at least one CPA with 100% of CPA employees being members of the Houston CPA Society.
Benefits of membership in CPA Aces include: a listing in the Society Services Section of the Society web site (www.HoustonCPA.org) with a link to your firm or company's web site (if available), a certificate of membership, and periodic recognition and promotion in the monthly newsletter and at Society events.
Are all the CPAs in your firm or company already a member of the Houston CPA Society? If so, then join today. There are no additional costs, just additional recognition and promotion within the Society and the community. If not, contact the Texas Society of CPAs (800.428.0272 x260; www.tscpa.net) for a joint membership application. First time members are afforded a discounted first year rate, and reinstating members may request their reinstatement fee be waived.
Are you one of the only members of the Houston CPA Society
in your accounting department?
Recently a large energy company invited Membership Marketing Manager Robin Jarrow to its quarterly controller's meeting to make a short presentation about membership with the Houston CPA Society. In addition to Robin speaking about the benefits of membership for both candidates and CPAs, a short DVD presentation was played for company employees. Printed materials and presentations are available upon request by contacting Robin Jarrow at the Society office (713.622.7733 x24; rjarrow@houstoncpa.org). It's time to get your entire office involved!
CPA Aces is a great way to recognize the Houston businesses that demonstrate a top-flight level of support and commitment to their employees' profession. These firms and companies show a commitment to their employees as well as those employees' local professional association where they receive quality continuing education, grow professionally, develop leadership skills, and maintain contacts of benefit to the individual and business alike. It's a win-win partnership, which, as the 3rd largest local chapter in the nation, allows Houston's CPA professional society a strong voice.
